Changing the font, style and size of calculated values in a text area

You can chnage the font, style and size of calculated values in a text area.

About this task

Note: Text areas must be authored in the installed client.

Procedure

  1. On the title bar of the text area where the dynamic item is located, click Edit text area .
  2. Right-click the calculated value and select Format control from the pop-up menu.
  3. Adjust the font settings in the dialog to change the appearance of the calculated value to your liking.
    Note: The text color cannot be set here, it is defined by rules.
  4. Click OK to apply the new font settings to the calculated value.
  5. Exit edit mode to see the result.
    Note: When working with calculated values, make sure you do not unintentionally override any font style settings that have been defined in a rule. If you apply a font style (Bold and Italic) from the Format Control dialog, it will be added to the calculated value on top of any font style included in a rule for the calculated value. For example, if you select the check box for Bold in the Format Control dialog, then the calculated value will always be displayed as bold. A rule stating that the value should be displayed in bold only if the value is greater than a certain value will have no effect, since the calculated value is already displayed in bold.
